Maybe sas_abort_cmd_iter() would be a better name, but see comment on naming, below.

I suppose that this is ok, but we're not dealing with libsas "internal" commands or libata internal commands, though. What about them?

Hi John,

Most of the time user space applications are not sensitive to libsas(or libata) "internal" commands. The applications only need the kernel response quickly on their "read" or "write" syscalls. This patch aborts all the application's IO and they will return immediately. We have tested this patch for more than 300 times. The "internal" commands may affects the EH process but in out test it does not affect the application's IO return.


I suppose my series here would help:

This is great. After your series we can manage "internal" commands more effectively, I think. And we can easily control all the commands including the "internal" commands.



Along with Part II

+    return true;
+}
+
+static void sas_abort_domain_cmds(struct domain_device *dev)

Let's make it clear that it is for a specific domain device and only affects scsi_cmds, i.e. not libsas internal or libata internal, so maybe sas_abort_device_scsi_cmds() or sas_abort_device_rqs() or something like that.

Please also add some sort of comment to say that we just want EH to kick in quickly.

+{
+    struct sas_ha_struct *sas_ha = dev->port->ha;
+    struct Scsi_Host *shost = sas_ha->core.shost;
+    blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter(&shost->tag_set, sas_abort_cmd, dev);

blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter() would be nicer to use here, but it's not exported - I am not advocating exporting it either. And we don't have direct access to the scsi device pointer (from which we can look up the request queue pointer), either.

+}
+
  void sas_unregister_dev(struct asd_sas_port *port, struct domain_device *dev)
  {
+    if (test_bit(SAS_DEV_GONE, &dev->state))
+        sas_abort_domain_cmds(dev);

This code is common to expanders. Should we really be calling this for an expander, even if it is harmless (as it does nothing currently)?

Yes, It does nothing now for expanders. I can filter out the expander devices in advance to avoid the wasting tag itering.

ok, maybe you can put the check (for an expander) in sas_abort_domain_cmds()



And we also seem to be calling this for rphy "which never saw sas_rphy_add" (see code comment, not shown below), which is questionable. Should we really do that?

This device has not been initialized completely if "never saw sas_rphy_add", and there will be no IO from the block layer. I think there is no real bug but we need to avoid to iter the tag set too.

Thanks,
John
